I agree that most IBM i shops will not need more than LTO4. One of the
exceptions being the additional redundancy capabilities supported by LTO 5
and above recently announced by IBM. My boss thinks that our reliability
is "good enough".
One thing I often notice is that there are charts which show how much data
will fit on each generation of LTO tapes, and, what the transfer rate of
each drive is also. What I am not seeing is those tables having any
bearing here. For example, I believe LTO4 was supposed to be twice as
fast as LTO 3. We didn't see near that increase.
